Download The Latino Generation: Voices of the New America AudioBook Free

Latinos are already the greatest minority group in the United States, and experts estimate that by 2050, one out of three Americans will identify as Latino. Though their populace and influence are steadily rising, stereotypes and myths about Latinos continue to be, from the assumption that they won't learn English to questions of just how "American" they actually are. By delivering thirteen riveting oral histories of young, first-generation college or university students, Mario T. Garcia counters those long-held stereotypes and expands our understanding of what he conditions "the Latino Era." By allowing these teenagers to share their reviews and battles, Garcia reveals that these students and children of immigrants will be critical players in the next chapter of the nation's history. Collected over several years, the testimonies follow the history of the sound system in thought-provoking ways, reminding us that associates of the Latino Era are not merely a demographic group but instead real individuals, as American in their dreams and devotion as the associates of another ethnic group in the country.The complete list of narrators includes: Mariana Carreno, Tony Chiroldes, Monica Steuer, Adriana Sananes, Walter Krochmal, Rosie Berrido, Silvia Sierra, Luis Moreno, Martin Untrojb, Maria Cabezas, Lisa Ortiz, and Blanca Vasquez.
